What's the best way to target fish in 15 foot of water?

[Brutal_boost]

I've been seeing a lot of fish sitting around 15 foot of water on my fish finder. Most of what I fish are muddy grassy areas. What's the best way to target these fish? I feel like a lot of things I read and watch would only work good with a muddy bottom.

You will get a lot of replies on this one...

Tons of options, but I always have a jig, bubba-shot and swimbait tied on whe. I am going there

Swim jig or chatter would be my first choices, but they are also my first choices in most situations…

[Biglittle8]

Jig would be my first choice also.

Dough balls are good for Carp.

What is the surrounding structure?  Is the grass there?  Close?  Any cover close by?

  Sounds like I'm making it complicated,  I suppose...but, actually, if we know more, maybe it will be simpler.   For example, I fish wildly different conditions in my area. On five consecutive days, I can fish in 15 FOW in entirely different ways.  Today, I could be in a rocky reservoir with fish hanging near timber stuck on a ledge.  Tomorrow, I might be on lake with grass line at 14' and bass sitting just outside.  Friday, I could be in a river targeting smallies in deep pools.  Saturday, I find them in deep channels of tidal Potomac.  Sunday, on a newish reservoir, I mark fish in brushpiles at 15'.....or as Tom suggested,  you might be marking carp....or catfish...or.....

If there seems to be a lot of fish at 15 foot,  try to locate a point and fish at that depth there. A Berkely Dredger 17.5 or 20.5 will dive to that depth . Bouncing a Red Eye Shad or Texas rigged worm on bottom can be productive . About any sinking lure would be a good choice .

You can pretty much use any technique available.

That was my first reaction as well.
